"Phew…"
"Sisters, don't be nervous; this isn't an individual match, it's a team match."
"The non-specialist in front of us isn't invincible."
"As long as we coordinate well and keep a close watch on him, not giving him any chance to use his tricks, the scales of victory will tip in our favor."
Lorna saw that her companions were all watching the non-specialist with apprehension, so she used 'Sound Transmission' to reassure them.
Regarding this...
Lorna couldn't do much.
It was natural to be afraid of this non-specialist.
Especially after seeing the horrifying scene of the youngsters from the Muling Empire being devoured by countless bugs in the first match; it was enough to give anyone goosebumps.
These girls, who love beauty, certainly didn't want their delicate skin to be bitten by those bugs.
Fortunately, Lorna's reassurance worked well.
The beautiful and delicate elf girls quickly regained their confidence.
Their lineup was strong.
Thirty Druids, ten Mages, ten Priests.
The reason this lineup is considered strong lies in the sheer number of Druids.
As a versatile class, Druids possess nature-based skills that allow them to transform into various animal forms with different abilities.
For example, the 'Black Bear Form' can serve as the front line with its high durability.
The 'Rosebay Willowherb Form' can act as a ranged magic damage dealer.
The 'Sunflower Form' can serve as a healer and support.
There's even the 'Black Mandrake Form' that can act as a Shadow Priest.
Of course...
Although the Druid class is incredibly versatile, its effectiveness is slightly weaker than specialized classes.
However, for team battles, it's more than sufficient.
Elves have a natural bloodline talent of 'Nature Affinity,' making the Elf Forest the country with the most Druids in the world.
It's also one of the birthplaces of the Druid class.
The lineup of the Elf Forest team before them is the same one that won last year's team championship.
This lineup's strategy led them to victory, proving its strength and viability for continued use.
"Alright, both teams prepare yourselves and enter the secret realm dungeon!"
At the referee's announcement...
Both teams slowly walked into the special space.
It was still the familiar vast plains battlefield.
The elf girls summoned their contracted spirit beasts and magical beasts.
Princess Lorna stood alongside her contracted divine beast, the 'Holy Winged Unicorn.'
The Holy Winged Unicorn, a divine beast residing in the Elf Forest, is similar to the Sinmao Jade Rabbit clan in that it enjoys basking in the moonlight, absorbing the essence of the moon to strengthen itself.
Moreover, the Holy Winged Unicorn is also a renowned support divine beast.
At this moment...
The Holy Winged Unicorn transformed into a tall woman dressed in white, with a delicate face, surrounded by a gentle moonlight, appearing both beautiful and holy.
It's worth mentioning...
It's said that the Holy Winged Unicorn only signs contracts with virgins.
Of course, this is just hearsay, and the truth is unknown.
On the Elf Forest team's side, almost all the contracted beasts were nature-based.
In contrast, the Dragon Kingdom team's lineup seemed rather eclectic and disorganized.
In terms of divine beasts, the Dragon Kingdom team likely had the most on the field.
A total of five divine beasts.
But the players' magical beasts and spirit beasts were a bit chaotic.
Two players had contracted magical beasts that were two ugly toads.
Another had a foul-mouthed, vulgar-speaking cockatoo.
In short...
Compared to the Elf Forest team's elegance and order...
The Dragon Kingdom team looked like a group of old men and women casually strolling down the street, with a carefree and unrefined air of confidence.
A bunch of rogues!!
A regular team vs. a wild team!
Hmm...
To the external spectators, the beautiful and noble elf girls seemed to have the upper hand.
"Go, elf girls!!"
"Yes, go for it!"
"Don't let those ruffians win!"
"Watch out for that ruffian leader Ling Zhan! He's the most cunning; be sure to guard against his tricks!"
"…"
It seems that no matter the world, people are drawn to beauty.
The fair-skinned, beautiful elf girls had obviously won over the audience's sympathy.
Even the spectators who initially supported Ling Zhan were now rooting for the elf girls to win.
Inside the special space...
The elves watched the scattered Dragon Kingdom team but dared not be careless.
Especially...
"Hmm?"
The elf girls were surprised to see that the non-specialist they feared the most had moved past his teammates to the back of the group.
This...
In the first match, he charged at the front...
Now, he was hiding at the back!?
What kind of tactic was this?
The key thing was...
The guy wasn't using Sound Transmission. He just coldly walked to each team member, whispering something unknown.
What was he up to?
For a moment, not only the elf girls but also the spectators frowned.
Once Ling Zhan finished his instructions...
The referee, who was also standing in mid-air, finally raised his placard.
Ding ding!!
The countdown appeared on the screen.
"It's starting!"
With tense expressions, the ten-second countdown finally ended.
As soon as the match started...
Boom!!
Five figures from the Dragon Kingdom team surged forward like five armored vehicles at full speed, charging directly at the Elf team!
Taking a closer look...
It was the collective charge of the five divine beasts!!
Although these five divine beasts, appearing in the form of beautiful women, hadn't revealed their true forms yet...
The divine beast shadows that appeared behind them during the charge put immense pressure on the elf girls.
And behind them, a vast group of magical beasts and spirit beasts followed!
"Execute Plan C!"
As the commander, Lorna showed no signs of panic, calmly and steadily issuing the command.
Plan C was actually a defensive strategy.
It was also the most solid plan they had.
Mainly because Lorna still didn't know what that damned non-specialist was plotting in the shadows!
The constant sense of crisis, like a shipwreck in a calm harbor, made her extremely uneasy.
The elf girls executed the captain's order with firm resolve and mutual understanding.
To show respect for the divine beasts, twenty Druids transformed into 'Black Bear Form,' forming two rows at the front and back.
With the support of the Holy Winged Unicorn's 'Holy Light Spread' skill, they looked like an impregnable fortress.
And...
They weren't just defending.
The other ten Druids had already transformed into 'Eagle Form,' soaring into the sky, their wings suddenly vibrating as countless eagle feathers turned into sharp darts, attacking the approaching beast group!
Boom boom boom!!
The sky was filled with eagle feathers, like a Gatling gun, kicking up a massive dust storm.
Got them!
Just as the elf girls were about to smile...
Suddenly!
Screech!!
Two piercing phoenix cries resounded through the sky!
